Set up your AWS credentials

The website makes API call which involve pulling data from DynamoDB. In order to run these calls locally, you need to configure your AWS credentials file. You need a creds file like [your-name]_credentials.csv. This file contains your Access key ID and Secret access key. Do not share these keys with anyone. Follow these instructions to tell the server to use your credentials file. Once this is done, you can run the server using the intructions below.
